Species Profiles Feathered Parasites Brown-headed Cowbirds display an evolutionary breeding behavior facilitated by humans.   Red Crossbill (Loxia Curvirostra) Members of the finch family, Red Crossbills are best known for their unusual bill shape — the tips of the mandibles cross.   Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) The Reddish Egret stands out as one of North America's most beautiful and interesting members of the heron family.    Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) First described by Lewis and Clark, the Sage Grouse stands at 28 to 31 inches tall, making it the largest and most spectacular of our North American grouse.   Bluebird of Happiness Species Profile: Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides)   Falcon King Species Profile: Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus)   Mourning Doves Find Mourning Doves nesting just outside your digital window.   Blackpoll Warbler (Dendroica striata) Along the evolutionary curve, however, this small bird decided to migrate from its high northern boreal nesting grounds to the wilds of the Amazonian Basin and other locations in South America.
